Overexposure.

I haven’t been blogging nearly as often as I’ve scheduled myself to. I
got one day off this week, and that’ll be spent taking care of house
stuff, packing orders for Perthro’s, and catching up with family and
friends.

It’s been rough. A friend died, and I buried another friends’ cat,
who was awesome. He was a very old kitty when he went. And all of this
stuff, and the other minor stuff and setbacks going on, and still dosing
Bebe daily with meds and trying to afford her other meds and special
cat food and all this stuff… I just can’t function most days. I can’t
focus for more than a few minutes on any one thing. I feel a bit
stretched too thin, overexposed.

For what little time I do have on my day off, I think my version of
relaxing will be to Google myself under various pennames and to shut
down extraneous accounts. I found one today that I wrote one blog post
under, and never logged in again. I just… forgot I had it. That’s how I
know I’ve got too much going on!

The highlight of my week has been busting butt to make money for all
the bills sort-of-ish on time. As a bonus, I did get a new Yoshi wallet
to help organise all the stuff in my purse! My Bolivian-made one has
been used daily for so long that it’s wearing thin and falling apart.

I’m sure I’ll return to blogging again one day soon. I miss it. I
miss the small adventures of mini impromptu research projects for the
fun of it. But now I can barely focus on a magazine article all the way
through. I just keep moving from one thing to the next… but I hold out
hope that things will change soon. Wish me luck!
